• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is -14°C to 18°C. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. The lid usually goes in late April, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. Ice usually gives way near late April, and forms again about late November. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. At Lac de l'Oie the season follows that pattern closely.
